Mary's Boracho Pork

Memo at 3 years old

Mary Lopez was an an American living in Mexico City. She had met her husband, Chewy, in the states, got married and together they had a son, Alfonso. Mary helped me survive living in Mexico City for the eight years I lived there. We both lived in the Condominiums of the Altillo on Avenida Universidad. Our kids were bestest of friends and did
everything together.

Mary and I started a once a week girls' luncheon outting that ended up involving more than 6 American and Mexican ladies. It was a wonderful time! We then we moved to Monterry, Mexico and life moved on. Last in knew, Mary lived in Denver, CO. I have not connected with her as I should have. I think I will make this part of my New Year's Resolutions!

Boracho is Spanish means drunk. So this dish is called Drunk Pork since it is made with beer.

Mary's Boracho Pork:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lbs of boneless pork roast
2 lbs of fresh tomatoes or 2 16oz cans of stews tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic
1 lg onion
1 bottle of beer
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp ground Marjoram Leaves
3 peppercorns
3 serrano chiles (optional)

In a dutch oven, heat oil and sear boneless pork roast on all sides. Add onion and garlic and brown with the meat until tender. Then add the tomatoes and cook another couple of minutes then add the beer and spices. Put the lid on and cook for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender.

Remove the meat and let sit for about 5 minutes then slice and serve over white or red rice adding the sauce on top. You can also serve this dish with refried beans and avocado slices.

PS I cook this meal in the pressure cooker since it only takes about an hour from start to finish and it is very tasty and moist that way. I hope you enjoy this meal! Que goze esta comidad!
